Venezuela is ready to supply oil to Russia
Venezuela is ready to supply oil to Russia, Executive Vice President Delcy Rodriguez said at a meeting with Russian State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin.
“We continue our cooperation and we have a very rich and busy agenda. We are working on a number of issues in the field of energy, military-technical cooperation, finances, and economy. Russia has everything that Venezuela needs. For its part, Venezuela can supply oil that Russia needs,” Rodriguez said.
She believes that it is a good opportunity for future cooperation.
Earlier, on March 1, Rodriguez said that in connection with the expansion of cooperation with Rosneft and Gazprom, the European office of Venezuela’s state-owned oil company PDVSA is being transferred from Lisbon to Moscow.
Last month, against the backdrop of anti-government protests, the United States imposed sanctions against Venezuela, which affected primarily the state-owned oil company PDVSA. Washington blocked the company's assets at $ 7 billion and threatened to block the accounts of oil buyers from Venezuela.
